Ana awoke early in the morning and settled onto the couch, a candle casting a soft glow on the table.

Moments later, the spy she had hired arrived and delivered his report, "Ma'am, Ms. Olivia had a high fever last night, and Mr. Tyler tended to her throughout the night upon returning from the fishing village." Ana smiled, her gaze fixed on the flickering candle.

"So, they spent the night together?" she asked.

Satisfied, she asked further, "Has her fever subsided?"

"It has," came the reply.

Ana's spirits lifted. "Continue to monitor them."

"Understood, Ma'am."

Olivia was roused from her slumber by her ringing phone. Her fever had broken, and with a clear head, she reached for her device. She sat up and hesitated before answering, recognizing the caller. Ana's voice came through, "Are you awake?"

Olivia felt a twinge of anxiety. She quickly responded, "Yes, Mom."

Ana's tone was not as harsh as the previous day. "Good. And Tyler?"

Uncertain how to explain Tyler's absence, Olivia faltered.

Ana persisted, "I've arranged for breakfast. Share it with Tyler."

Olivia nervously bit her lip.

"I'm trying to mend things between you two. Don't miss this opportunity. If you ignore me again, consider the consequences."

Olivia's heart skipped a beat at the warning.

"Okay," she managed to say.

Ana seemed content and ended the call promptly.

As soon as Olivia hung up, her expression darkened.

Feeling lethargic, she rested for a while before mustering the strength to rise from bed. Just as she did, the doorbell rang.

Wrapped in a blanket, Olivia approached the door. It was a maid sent by Ana, holding a package. "Ma'am, Ms. Ana asked me to deliver this from home."

Olivia was taken aback as Ana had sent the maid all the way there. She accepted the food container and replied, "Okay."

"Alright, I won't disturb you and Mr. Tyler then," Ana added.

Olivia pursed her lips, contemplating her next move. Eventually, she decided to freshen up first.

Returning to the room, she hesitated as she eyed the food. With a weary body, she approached, picked it up, and left the room.

Olivia didn't know Tyler's room number, so she wandered the corridor aimlessly.

Suddenly, a voice called out, "Ma'am."

Turning, Olivia saw Camilla approaching.

"Do you feel better?" Camilla asked, noticing Olivia's unease.

Olivia ignored the question and asked, "Which room is... Tyler staying in?"

Camilla's gaze shifted, sensing something amiss. She then noticed what Olivia was holding.

Assuming Ana had sent her to charm Tyler once more, Camilla smiled and replied, "Mr. Tyler is staying right next door."
